Vale of Clwyd

Description: A wide, open landscape described in lively brushwork, with a path in the foreground, sweeping to the left and down to the middle distance through a copse. A hill rises to the right of the composition and there is a distant estuary with woods and hills on the horizon. In the middle foreground, a figure herds three cattle along the path.
